Teriyaki Sesame Vegetables

This flavorful dish is the easiest way to get your children to enjoy vegetables. Make extra sauce and serve it over fish or chicken.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. To make the sauce, combine 1 tsp garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, water, sugar and 1 1/2 tsp vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and cook for 3 minutes or until thickened and syrupy. Set aside.

2. To make the vegetables, heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the carrot and sauté over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, until just barely tender. Add 1 tsp garlic, bell pepper and snow peas; sauté, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.

3. Add the sauce to the pan and simmer for 1 minute, or until the vegetables are just tender-crisp. Place in a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro.
